A tall boy standing in front of a map of Angola.

ادسن در انگولا متولد شد، بعد از آزاد شدن کشور ايشان. او يک بچه ای بلند قد بود. او بخاطر قد بلند اش بیرون ایستاد شد. مردم که به کودکان توفنگ می دادند تا به طور نيروها امنيتی بجنگند، اينطور بچه ها را نياز داشتند.

Edson was born in Angola, just after the country became independent. He was a very tall boy. Because of his height he stood out. The people who were giving weapons to children to fight as soldiers in the civil war wanted boys like him.

مادر او بسيار ترسيده بود که آنها بچه اش را خواهد برد، بنابراین او فیصله کرد و بچه اش را به پرتگال روان کرد تا در آنجا به خاله اش زندگی کند. او فکر کرد که بچه اش در آنجا در امان باشد.

His mother was afraid they would take him, so she decided to send him to live in Portugal with an aunt. She thought he would be safe there.


A boy thinking of his mother.

شروع کردن بسیار برایش سخت بود، چرا که ايدسن از هوای معتدل، غذا های محلی و مهم تر ان، آغوش گرفتن و بوسه کردن مادرش را از دست داد.

It was very difficult to begin with, as Edson missed the warm weather, the traditional food and, most of all, his mother’s hugs and kisses.

او به زبان پرتغالی خوب صحبت کرده نمی توانست و مشکل بود‌ که او درس های خود را تعقیب کند و با همصنفان اش به طور صحیح محاوره کند. او پریشان شد که آیا این نظریه با پرتگال آمدن خوب بود.

He did not speak Portuguese well and found it very hard to follow his classes and the conversations of his classmates. He wondered if it was a good idea to come to Portugal after all.


A tall boy playing basketball with his friends.

یک روز يک استاد اش متوجه شد که او در بازی بسکتبال بسيار خوب بود. او با یک تیم بسکتبال يک جا شد و بسيار کامیابی یافت. او در مکتب بسيار مشهور شد و رفيقان پيدا کرد. او همچنان بسيار اعتماد به نفس شد.

One day a teacher noticed how good he was at basketball. He joined a basketball team and was very successful. He became popular at school and made friends. He also became more confident.

حالا که او بالغ شده است، ايدسن کودکان مهاجر را در مورد خطرات استخراج از جامعه تعليم می دهد. یک بار قد بلند او خودش را در خطر انداخت تا در سن کوچک عسکر شود. حالا قد بلند او به او قوت می بخشد تا با دیگران کمک کند تا محفوظ باشند.

Now that he is an adult, Edson trains refugee children and others at risk of being excluded from society. Once, his height put him in danger of becoming a child soldier. Now, his height gives him strength to help others feel safe.
